The Reamp JCR is a passive re-amping device that allows you to take a prerecorded track and send it back to a guitar or bass amplifier and re-record it. The benefits are tremendous: instead of worrying about the sound of the track, you can focus your attention on getting the best musical performance. Once the magic has been captured, you can send the guitarist home and Reamp the track at will as you move the mics around the room, try various amplifiers or introduce effects. Best of all, you can Reamp the track later as the production develops.

The Radial Reamp JCR is the latest version of the original Reamp that was designed and patented by John Cuniberti. It features a 100% passive design with John's original custom wound 'Made in the USA' transformer and circuit. The latest Radial version features separate XLR and ¼" TRS input connectors, variable output level plus a three-position filter that lets you tame excessive highs, warm up the lows or simply bypass if you want to revert to the original circuit. An on-board mute function has also been added to allow you to shut off the signal going to the amps when making adjustments or moving mics around the studio.

With today's unlimited track capabilities, Reamping is now accessible to everyone. And Reamping is no longer just for guitars¦ It is now common to Reamp bass, keyboards, drums, violin¦ you name it. In fact, Reamping is the magic ingredient that has brought many of the most esteemed recordings to life.

My reason for buying it: I had tracked some electric guitar parts directly (well, gtr-->pre-amp-->interface) into my DAW, and I wasn't happy with the virtual amp sounds that I was getting from my plug-ins. The JCR Reamp allowed me to take my existing dry line-level signal (as +4 dB output) from my interface and send it to the hi-z/instrument input jack of my amp (as -10 dB input), which I then mic'd and re-tracked (or "reamped"). This little box works exactly as expected, and does not require any power source, which is great. If you plan to send the signal to more than one amp or power a pedal board with it, then you should instead purchase the Radial X-Amp. However, the X-Amp uses buffers to do the work and will sound different from a passive device like the JCR Reamp , which uses transformers. My only gripe with this device is that the phase and ground switches are tucked away and require a screwdriver or long pen and firm push to engage (which isn't necessarily convenient nor self-evident). At the same time, once you realize how to do it, it's not a big deal, and this is a design feature that ensures longevity of the device. Moreover, if your mics are set up properly, you shouldn't really have phase issues. Overall, this is a nice and solid box. Frankly, it will prompt you to upgrade your gutiar amps. ;)

I bought the Radial JCR because I wanted a solution for re-amping in my home studio. I've used this a few times already and it is awesome. No noise or interference from this when I use my line out from my Saffire Pro 40.

As for the construction, its metal body is built like an angry stomp box. Very solid and durable, If I were a stupid hillbilly I'd shoot this thing with my .45 just to see how well it is built, but I'm not so I'll just keep using it like a regular dude.

The Radial JCR is a bit pricey but real easy to use and well worth the money. If you are on a budget I would recommend you save for this. I can't speak for other re-amp boxes but I do know that you get what you pay for. If the price is cheap, chances are so is the quality.
